PEO Blog in News/Announcements

Over the years, Human Resources has evolved from primarily payroll and recordkeeping, into a bona-fide profession. Today, human resource professionals sit at the table with executives, and are key players in aligning people and programs toward achievement of company strategic goals. Management often depends on HR for guidance on handling sensitive personnel problems, and for expertise on complying with a myriad of complex and confusing employment regulations.

As insurance agents and brokers search for ways to respond to the continuing soft market, they would be wise to follow the example of professional employer organizations (PEOs) that are winning over small and mid-sized employers, according to one consultant.

“There is a fundamental shift occurring in the small, mid-sized employer market today,” says James A. Schlueter, president of the Total HR Network. “Insurance agents and brokers are searching for ways to deal with deteriorating commissions and increased competition in this soft market. Unfortunately, most of the sales strategies in the media advising the agents/brokers how to respond to the soft market environment are missing a vital point. It’s not about you; it’s about your customer,” he said, speaking to a group of insurance agents and brokers in Southern California.

Online Job Board Offers Job Seekers FREE Listing and FREE Video Resume Posting Until Jan. 1, 2009

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.-- Greg and Theo Rokos, prominent executive search and sales leadership professionals, today announced the launch of FutureResume.com, a new concept in the online job board that allows job seekers to show their personality and professionalism through one- to two-minute video resume introductions that let them stand out from the crowd and find the perfect job. The new employment website lets hiring managers experience some of the same qualities a job seeker might reveal in an interview, but before the investment in a live interview, shortening and solidifying the hiring process. The new site also features employer video profiles that enable companies to stand out and showcase their corporate philosophy and culture so that job seekers can be sure to find the perfect fit. FutureResume.com executives say that no matter how many resume postings candidates may have on other sites, they will still come to FutureResume.com because it really is “the future of first impressions.”

Like many small businesses, your company may not be large enough to employ a full-time human resources director.

That means, for the most part, the task of hiring falls on your shoulders or perhaps a manager within the company.

While you may think you’re aware of the nondiscrimination statutes out there, you may unknowingly be asking potentially litigious interview questions that could land your company in hot water, say employment experts.
